All the wonderful birds and wildlife of Lancashire, Cheshire, North Wales and further

Spoonbill: A long overdue visit to BMW with hope to see the resident spoonies that take moved in over the last few weeks.

I wasn't disappointed I saw three of the four birds and had some lovely views of Spotted Fly's too.

Spotted Flycatcher: Unfortunately I turned down a trip to Uist for the brilliant Black-billed Cuckoo, but with work on Sunday and Monday I had no choice.

Still it was really nice to spend my day at a great place, full of friendly faces, volunteers and staff and on a day like today with wall to wall blue skies and warm temperatures, there's no better place.
